Psychology of Various Levels of Knowledge

Isaac Newton stated when you have 2 objects suspended at the same height; and, one is more dense than the other then, drop them, the one with the greater density will reach the ground first. What he simply stated is if 2 objects are suspended at the same height; and,one is heavier than the other; then, drop them, the heavier one will reach the ground first. He received a Nobel Prize for quoting simple common sense reasoning. Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" received a Nobel Prize. Why? He did not know if it was true or not. It was just Theory. Intelligential people do not have friends due to 1] Being repulsive or [2] being repulsed at others in some cases. In fact, intelligential people only tend to veer from society due to chronic boredom; and repulsive redundancy of lesser K.Q. people. Even books are non tolerable. I read books for 1 of 2 reasons [1] as a reference or [2] To see if the data is correct. I am regarded as a surahyperultraintelligential person. When I was analyzed for my I.Q. status ; by Counterintelligence Agency operatives of the military, the supercomputers calculated my I.Q. to be exponential. My I.Q. was displayed as an exponent.
People of varying degrees of knowledge may be the same in intelligence. For examples:
[1] Cave dwellers knew what to eat and how to hunt
[2] Primitive people created pyramids
[3] Modern day primates know what plants to eat; and which ones will treat certain medical conditions.
Intelligence is not restricted to lack of knowledge.
Those of elevated intelligence have extreme short patience levels, They are spontaneous; and, they tend to go from specifically chosen people accordingly to fleeting emotional states.
Being extremely intelligent is not glamourous. Most of the time intelligent people get into trouble. For example, I got into trouble from reporting crimes to CIA 3 months before they were committed.My reports were extremely accurate.
Intelligence is the state of perceiving; and seeing, everything in more minute detail. The environment; and people, are viewed in extremely accurate and minute detail. The phrase "I ran 300 miles" as over 150 meanings. I never understood what people were saying until the age of 28 due to multifariosity of their meanings.
Intelligent people; at the first, are extremely sensitive and, are easily insulted from other people's statement. The Intelligential people do not generalize but, Construe statements in extremely precise detail of meaning.
In a relationship, kissing is perceived to be extremely repulsive to some due to a specific part of the body utilized for eating and sensual contact.
For friendships, 2 intelligent people meet, speak a few sentences and, if fascinated; or interested in each other sufficiently, will introduce themselves to each other. Name exchanges always come at the end of a meeting; and, not at the beginning such as most people. Intelligent people think it may not be worth remembering a name if they are not compatible. It s a common trait; and nothing of an offense. It is construed as rude to provide name exchanges at the first of the meeting. It indicates the person is attempting to force their names onto another person without warrant. That is "Arrogancy".
Many people also learn of intelligential things; but, cannot understand them. Einstein wrote E=Mc2. That is totally nonerudite. This is why:
[1] Energy is not the same as mass or light. In algebra, more than 1 unit of object or item may not be utilized in a single equation.
[2] Energy does not equal speed of light or mass
[3] The speed of light squared is similar to saying A flat squared on a piano. It is a higher frequency
In fact, A specific frequency, waveform and amplitude of energy may propel a mass to the specified speed. of a specific frequency of light.
In the equation of Einstein:
[1] The type of energy is not defined; such as Cosmic, nuclear, ultrasonic, or other form of energy
[2] The mass is not defined; such as water, mercury, titanium, silicon or other mass.
[3] The speed of light is not defined. Each speed of every frequency of light travels at differential levels. In space, the electromagnetic field flux levels may strip varying degrees of energy from specific frequencies of light; especially, when resistivity causes a slower light to remain slow while slowing a higher light frequency. This is similar to nuclear energies which will slow when striking a field flux compared to those that may hyperaccelerate. Potentials of resistivity, frequencies, waveforms, polarities; and, other status regulates effects of travel or propulsivity potentials of masses. In effect, a specific electromagnetic energy may propel a mass such as iron but, will not propel aluminum. Aluminum is magnetic at very much higher frequencies. Regardless of how much energy is applied, aluminum will remain unaffected.
In Einstein's "Theory", it is stated E=MC2. To multiply mass and light speed is completely Noneruditic. That has no meaning at all.
In "Space" there are numerous polarities of radiation. That will not only affect the light polarization directly; but also, the affects on the specific mass. The speed traveled is dependent on the compatibility of energy polarization, mass polarization potentials and other functions.
To conclude Einstein's Theory description, in Earth atmosphere, it is difficult to travel at "Light Speed" due to gravitational resistance. In Space, t is difficult to travel at "Light Speed" due to extrinsical gravitational resistance and admixturation with space atmosphere. I nessence, if a person accelerates to "Light Speed" the biosic [Physical] particles accelerate a differential speeds due to variation in weights. Biochemicals, water and plasma are not equal. They require stabilization for that acceleration. An excellent example would be to throw a handfull of rocks, metal pellets, bolts, and feathers as hard as possible. That happens when accelerating a human body or space vehicle o :light speeds.". The body and vehicle would disintegrate.
These are some characteristics of Intelligential people
[1] Jealousy: This is due to having difficulty locating a suitable partner. If found, the Intelligent person is extremely jealous.
[2] Selfish and greedy: This is due to not taking a chance on losing the possibly last person, object, or data.
[3] Lonely, sad and miserable This is due to being surrounded by people who cannot properly communicate on a required "higher level" of intelligence that is necessary or growth.
[4] Impatient: This is due to an extremely fast fleeting of thoughts that requires a proper environment for developement of ideas. The Intelligent person often changes subjects int he middle of sentences due to incapability of concentrating on a single subject for extended periods of time. Their thoughts are hyperaccelerated beyond the slower speech processes. Most intelligent people utilize extremely summarized sentences for conveyance of data. Others go as far as to not require speaking at all.
Impatience sometimes leads anger at the "lesser others".
[5] Criticism: Usually, intelligential people criticize "Lesser intelligential" people. This is due to a perfectionist type of thought processing.
[6] Perfectionism: It is construed by many intelligential people that everything has to be perfect to be correct; but, do not realize not everything has to be exact to be correct. For example, if tiny square pieces are adjoined, great care must be utilized to correctly align the pieces; but, f large pieces are adjoined, it is much easier to do so without much scrutiny.
[7] Ignorance: An old adage states "Intelligent people have no common sense reasoning". In fact, intelligent people ignore the annoying simple things of life;and consequently, make mistakes.
[8] Relationships Intelligent people usually prefer many partners; simultaneously, to harbour their extremely differential preferential requirements in character, personality, knowledge; and other traits. They quickly move from one partner to another; and, only stay as long as their fascination is satisfied.
[9] Intelligential Developement: This is created by being more reclusive; and, studying more subjects. The more they study; of course, the more knowledgeable they become. Many will study for; at he least, 6-10 hours per day for many centuries. Someone could gain extremely large quantities of knowledge over that period of time. I even studied nuclear engineering as a casual hobby. I learned to build many types of nuclear reactors.
[10] Extreme Self Noncolnearity: This causes extreme self non analyses and awareness; even to the point of forgetting to eat for many days. Sometimes hygiene and nutrition are completely ignored due to simplicities , insignificance , ignorance and noncolinearity to present thoughts.
[11] Stuttering: Stuttering occurs in many who cannot focus and concentrate on a single subject. Usually those people tend to think of many things simultaneously. Those people usually do not desire to speak at all due to the very annoying diversion from other thoughts.
[12] Normal and Simple People: These people utilize friends for prevention of misery and sadness. Some are chosen due to greater compatibility to themselves than others. Self therapy from sadness and boredom include comedy and laughter. That is why the adage "Laughter is the best medicine" was created. Normal Intelligential people regulate their sexuality due to being content with other means of happiness creations. Sexuality is usually an expression of affection than as an alleviation from misery. Normal intelligence people tend to have a more creative intelligence. Their technologies range from entertainment to life enhancing technologies that assist in the personal life contentedness.
[13] Primitive People: These people are extremely aware of everything; as well as extremely intelligential. They may look around them and know what foods are here; as well as herbal medicines for illness treatment. They are; in essence, their own nutritionist, door and pharmacist. Due to not requiring relief from  sadness or misery, their sexuality is extremely latent. They do not desire sexual partners normally. They perform sex only if they think ;or perceive, their life may be shortened for some specific reasoning; or, they my have limited access to a partner.
Primitive people have technologies include developement of body, spirit; and life enhancements regarding healthy life extensions. Some technologies include biosic preservation by pyramidal energies, high power polywater and , many other things.
Remotely located people of Asia were known to only eat when it is medicinally required. They were extremely aware of themselves. If they felt a slight discomfort in a portion of their body, they ingested the nutrients to restabilize the organ affected by slight malnourishment.
Most primitive people preoccupy their time with rites, chanting, singing; and other frequency created therapeutic methods of lifestyle.
They are very aware of; and believe in, supernormal things such as great strength, powerfull spirits; and other forms of life developements.

To be completed later. I am extremely bored with simple explanations.

Most Advanced Philosophies

The most advanced; as well as the strictest philosophies are:
[1] Zen Buddhism
[2] Taoism
Taoism teaches everyone is elated because they are a part of a  great Infinity. Some of the philosophies are:
[1] No one may determine anyone's fate; including themselves. To do so would indicate the person thinks to be greater than Infinity. It s also against the great Infinite to argue or fight also.
[2] No  is to leave footprints in the sandy beaches. The sand is the Infinite canvas while the breeze is a paintbrush. No one mar the beautifull painting of nature.
[3] Life is created to become ready for the next world beyond the physical.

Extreme Prejudice of Religion

Many refer to the Bible as the ultimate guidebook; and, think the will be "Saved" in the end. That is not true. In the Bible, it states there will be only 144,000 Jews who will be saved. Everyone else is doomed into "Hell.".
Here s a abstract from others:

The New City Jerusalem and the 144,000

There are many thoughts, understandings and interpretations on the book of Revelation, and within it, that of the new city Jerusalem, and the 144,000 of chapters 7 and 14.  In this article, I will present one possibility of the meaning of John’s vision regarding these two topics, and how they may flow together as one.  I am not dogmatic about this; this is only one view of it that I’ve considered and realize that most readers will not have been down this path before.  My only desire is for you to read and consider it in light of what the Holy Scriptures teach us, without predetermined conclusions or excessive influence from traditional teachers.

The New City Jerusalem

The new city Jerusalem is described in Revelation chapter 21.  In verse two, John sees the city coming down out of heaven, prepared as a bride for her husband.  The following is the bulk of the rest of the chapter that describes the city:

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.  Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:  three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.  Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.  And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.  The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs.  Its length, breadth, and height are equal.  Then he measured its wall:  it measured 144 cubits, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.  The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.  The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones:  the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.  The twelve gates were twelve pearls:  each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.  But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:9-22)

The Bible establishes that this city is in fact the bride of Christ (Revelation 21:2, 9-10), being described throughout the chapter in the metaphor as a city.  We know that Jesus is the Lamb, but He is also the Bridegroom (John 3:29 and elsewhere in the New Testament).  The discourse below discusses the bride.

The city, or bride, is described as having a wall with twelve gates, and the gates have the names of the twelve tribes of Israel on them (verse 12).  The wall has twelve foundations, and on them are the names of the twelve apostles (verse 14).  If the city is actually the bride of the Lamb, then the description of the city must translate into something of meaning in reference to and description of the bride.

First, let’s examine the foundation.  The foundation is the apostles, or perhaps better described as the work of the apostles.  Foundation here means what you’d normally think of when considering a foundation… something which holds something else up.  This word in the Greek, themelios(Strong’s number 2310), means beginnings, first principals, or a new establishment.  It is used very similarly in Ephesians 2:20, where the text says, “having been built on the foundation of the apostles….”  Hebrews 11:10 speaks of Abraham, “looking for the city which has foundations whose architect and builder is God.”  The foundations “were adorned with every kind of precious stone” (verse 19).  The apostles were, and are, very special and precious in the Lord’s eyes.  God designed the city, Jesus is the cornerstone, and the apostles laid the foundation based on the cornerstone that would hold up a wall. 

A wall is being held up by the foundation in verse 12… one wall, in the singular throughout Revelation.  While the wall apparently has four sides (verse 13 says there were three gates on each side), it is described as being one wall, one unit.  The wall isn’t intuitively described like the foundation, so let’s examine this for an explanation.  The wall, 1) was great and high, 2) had twelve gates, 3) was measured, 4) was jasper.

1)  Great, meaning splendid or stately.  High, meaning eminent or exalted.  See Strong’s numbers 3173 and 5308, respectively.

2)  The gates were attended by twelve angels, one per gate.  These angels are guarding the entrance to the city, preventing anyone or anything “unclean, or practitioners of abomination or lying from ever coming into it…” (Revelation 21:27), much like in Genesis 3:24, where cherubim guarded the tree of life in the Garden of Eden from sinful Adam and Eve.

Names were written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.  In Revelation 21:21, it states that each gate is a pearl.  It is quite fitting that God would have each gate presented as a giant pearl, representing Jacob’s twelve boys.  A pearl is formed in an oyster when an irritant (a piece of sand, for example) finds its way into the oyster… the oyster responds by coating the sand particle repeatedly to sooth itself.  Eventually something that is brash and irritating becomes a thing of beauty.  With few exceptions, I can imagine that Jacob’s boys were quite irritating to God, but eventually became the means by which God fulfilled the promise of descendants to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Why would God use the twelve tribes as access points into the city, where “those who wash their robes … enter by the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14)?  An examination of the meaning of the names of the twelve tribes is in order here (as described in biblical context)… this may provide the clue we are looking for.  Let’s examine a few. 

Of Reuben, it is stated “the Lord has seen my affliction, my husband will love me.” 

Of Levi, “my husband will become attached to me.” 

Of Judah, “I will praise the Lord.” 

Of Dan, “God has vindicated me and heard me.” 

Of Asher, “Happy am I,” or “blessed.” 

Of Joseph, “God has taken away my reproach.” 

Are we seeing a pattern here?  I’ve heard it preached that even back thousands of years before the Messiah came, there were hints of redemption to God, or salvation, in the twelve tribes (Genesis 12:3 says that through Abram “all the families of the earth will be blessed.”  While I and most others believe the meaning of this is that the Messiah would come from Abraham’s linage, it seems that this verse could also apply of the twelve to access this city).  This seems to be the case, when comparing the meaning of these names to the process of righteousness to God (known as being saved today).  God sees our affliction, but still loves us as we are.  With our belief in God and/or new birth in Christ, we become attached to God through Jesus, our husband/bridegroom (notice the husband references and compare below).  Then we praise the Lord.  Then we’ve been vindicated by God.  Then we are happy and blessed.  Then we have no more reproach against God.  It seems even as if the order of the twelve are sequential in salvation!   The beauty of this is that it applies to either side of the cross, as does our means to God… faith and belief in Him through His Word.  (This concept is not a stretch.  Similarly, the meaning of the names from Adam to Noah very much describes the gospel, not unlike that of John 3:16.)

In like form, Romans 11:12 says, “now if their (the Jews) transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be.”  A few verses later in verse 15, Paul continues with, “for if their (Jews) rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be….”  These verses point toward a relationship between the Jews and the salvation of the world.

Another relationship between the twelve tribes and salvation is tucked away in Leviticus.  In chapter 24, Moses gives instruction on the generation and placement of the showbread in the holy place.  Twelve cakes are to be made, and placed in two rows on the golden table, “in order before the LORD continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the children of Israel (verse 8).”  The showbread, described here and elsewhere in the Law, prefigures the regular partaking of Christ Jesus for our spiritual well-being.  We “feed” on Him regularly for our daily sustenance, and as He said in John 6:51, "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever….”  (J. Vernon McGee describes the correlation between the Old Testament bread conventions and Christ very well in his Thru the Bible Commentary.)  What makes this interesting for this study is the co-joining of the twelve tribes and the bread; twelve tribes and bread = salvation foreshadowing.

3)  A golden measuring reed (or rod) was used by an angel to measure the wall.  The wall “measured 144 cubits, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.”   Golden, here and elsewhere in the Bible, represents Godly purity, or of God.  The verb to measure is the Greek word metreō, which can mean to judge according to a rule or standard of judgment.  The reed was the device used by the angel for the measurement, and in Revelation 11:1, a reed for a similar measurement was described as being like a rod.  The word rod can have the meaning of rigorous rule, or a royal scepter, and this thought would seem to apply here. 

In essence, we are seeing an examination of the wall… how the wall stands up against a holy measurement of God.

The wall is 144 cubits, the measure of man and that of angels.  Why was it important for God to mention, “which are also angelic measurements?”  If the city is the bride and the wall is part of the city, then the 144 cubits are not simply a measurement of distance that can be converted to feet, miles, etc.  There is different meaning here, but what is it?

4)  Jasper is a precious stone of various colors.  Note in Revelation 4:3, God is described “like a jasper stone….”  Even Lucifer was described similarly in Ezekiel 28, being covered with “every precious stone … and the jasper….”  Here it is no different.  So it is thus that every righteous, pure and holy being, be it the Creator or the created, is pure and clear in heaven, with jasper as one vehicle of description.

It seems that the wall represents believers from every age, from Old Testament patriarchs and prophets to the New Testament church. 

Does this wall bear a load as most walls common to us do?  The word wall comes from the base Greek word tiktō (Strong’s number 5088), meaning to bring forth, bear, produce.  The wall, being believers, bears the witness and testimony of God and Jesus. 

What’s inside the wall?  The same thing that is inside of believers today is inside the wall, and that is God.  We know that, as believers, our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), where God dwells.  Likewise, in the new city, within the walls, “I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple” (verse 22).  God literally lives within the walls of new city Jerusalem.  Remember what the writer of Hebrews said in chapter 8, verse 5, when he said that Moses would erect a copy and shadow of the heavenly tabernacle.  The dwelling place of God in Revelation 21 is that heavenly tabernacle!  Other similarities to the Old Testament include the three gates (gate=tribe of Israel) on each side of the wall.  The Old Testament teaches us that while traveling through the desert for 40 years, God arranged for there to be three tribes on each side of the tabernacle (interestingly, the cumulative number of people per the four sets of tribes with the tabernacle in the middle makes the shape of the cross when seen from overhead… see Numbers 2).  This is another hint that inside the wall of the city is God’s dwelling place; we are the temple of God as New Testament believers, so tabernacle=wall=believers in this setting.

The city consists of the foundation, wall and gates together as one.  As described in verse 16, its length and width and height are equal.  This matches the description of the inner sanctuary (holy of holies) in Solomon’s temple as described in 1 Kings 6:20.  The city was measured at 12,000 stadia (singular is stadion).  Notice that it is not the length, width or height that is measured, but simply the city itself (unlike the inner sanctuary, where each dimension measured twenty cubits).  You may see furlong for the word stadion, or some other common length of measure.  This is dubious at best; the original language must be retained here for proper meaning.  Stadion comes from the base Greek word, histēmi, which means to make firm, fix or establish.  (The English word stadium is derived from the Greek word stadion, and histamine comes from the word histēmi.)  So we can say that the city is “firmly established”.  Interestingly, this same meaning applies when we see pillar in Revelation 3:12, “I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God … I will write on him the name of My God … the city of My God … and My new name.”  Pillar in the Greek is stylos, which also comes from the base word histēmi, same as stadion.  This is notable in that it gives credence to the idea that stadion has meaning other than that of distance as related to the heavenly scene in Revelation.  (In like thought, Isaiah sees posts in his heavenly vision in Isaiah 6:4, and here, the word posts is the Greek word, cubit.  Keep this in mind as you read about cubit below.)

Why twelve thousand stadia?  Twelve represents God’s perfect completion.  We see this, for example, in His twelve apostles, the twelve patriarchs, and numerous times throughout the Law.  Jesus was about His Father's business (Luke 2:49) when He was twelve years old, astonishing teachers with His wisdom and understanding.  We will examine the word thousand later in this article. 

The city was like jasper (Revelation 21:11), was pure gold (verse 18), and has streets of pure gold (verse 21).  Again we can compare the new city to the inner sanctuary, where Solomon overlaid it with gold (1 Kings 6:21).  The descriptors here are brilliant and crystal clear, like clear glass, and like transparent glass, respectively.  There are no impurities in the city, only the clarity and purity of God.

In Lamentations 4:2, God says through Jeremiah that, “the precious sons of Zion are comparable to fine gold.”  God is telling us in this verse that His dear ones are equal to fine or pure gold.  Remember, the new city is pure gold.  This reaffirms that we can consider the bride/believers/new city and pure gold as one. 

Once more, the city in its entirety is the bride of Christ… the apostles, the righteous believers before and after the cross, and even the twelve tribes of Israel.  The bride of Christ is not just the church as many believe today.  It is only the church in the context of where we are in the created timeline.  The description of the city testifies to this.  Otherwise, why would the city, the bride, be described in part by the twelve tribes?  Remember, Jesus died for all of mankind throughout time, from Adam and Eve to you and me.  Hebrews 10:12 says, “He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God….”  Remember, too, in John 5:46, Jesus said, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.”  What did Moses write?  The Law, via the Torah.  What did Jesus fulfill?  The Law.  Who was it that abided in God, following the precepts in the Torah and of the Law?  Old Testament believers. 

The New Testament plainly shows that the church is the bride of Christ, but believers in the Old Testament seem to be included, as terms such as beloved, and husband are used describing God as related to His people.  Many Christians, me included, believe the Song of Solomon is a love story about Jesus (the Beloved) and His believers (the Shulamite).  Isaiah says in 54:5, “For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts….”  Jeremiah notes in 31:32, “I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD.”  God is saying here that even before the Law He was a husband to the Israelites.  Ezekiel goes into what some consider a graphic description of God’s love for His people using an allegory of a husband and his cheating wife in chapter 16. 

Thus, the biblical evidence seems to indicate that all believers throughout time are the bride of Christ. 

The 144,000

The 144,000 are only mentioned in the book of Revelation, in chapters 7 and 14.  Here are the verses, respectively:

Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.  And I heard the number of those who were sealed.  One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:  of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. (Revelation 7:3-8)

Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads.  And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder.  And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.  They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.  These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.  And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God. (Revelation 14:1-5)

We will examine these verses more closely in a moment.  But first I will note that most people believe that the 144,000 are thought to be 144,000 Jewish people that are sealed unto God in the end times.  This makes sense.  It states plainly in Revelation 7:4-8 that 144,000 were sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel.  It’s hard to argue against what the text presents at face value.  But as we’ve noted earlier, and it is obvious when reading John’s Apocalypse, much of his presentation is not literal, but figurative.  Let’s see if we can gain further understanding into this part of Revelation as we consider the symbolic text.

There is not a lot of information given about the 144,000, but enough to give us clues about how they fit into John’s vision.  Of the 144,000, we know they 1) are sealed on their foreheads, 2) are called bond-servants, 3) are 12,000 in number from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, 4) are chaste and blameless, 5) follow the Lamb wherever He goes, and have been purchased as first fruits to God and the Lamb.

1)  Revelation 7:3 says, “until we have sealed … our God on their foreheads.”  Sealed here means to prove one’s testimony that he is what he professes to be.  Paul uses the same word with the same meaning in 2 Corinthians 1:22, where he says, “(God) who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit…,” and again he writes in Ephesians 1:13, “you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise”.  Believers today, like the 144,000, are sealed in similar fashion.

By the same token, Revelation 14:1 states they have, “His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.”  This sounds very much like Revelation 3:12, “I will write on him the name of My God … and My new name,” Jesus says through John to the church of Philadelphia.  Interestingly, there’s another verse where bond-servants have, “His name … on their foreheads.”  It is in Revelation 22:4, and appears to be talking about all believers in Heaven, and they have the very same marker as do the 144,000.  [Another marking takes place in the Bible, this time in the Old Testament.  In Ezekiel 9:4, the LORD tells a man clothed in linen (a Christophany, I believe) to, “put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed…,” then everyone else is destroyed, beginning in the sanctuary.  Peter in 1 Peter 4:17 says similarly, “judgment begins at the house of God”.] 

The word forehead provides much meaning here, so let’s examine that for a moment.  This is Strong’s number 3359, and is the compound Greek word metōpon.  In the New Testament, this word is only used in the book of Revelation, and there, only used as a place where one is either marked for the beast or for God.  In the Old Testament, the word forehead is used many times to describe someone that we would term hard-headed.  See Isaiah 48:4, Jeremiah 3:3 and Ezekiel chapter 3 for examples.  Was their head literally “hard as bronze” as Isaiah says, or “hard as flint” as Ezekiel states?  Of course not.  This is a reference to their state of mind; how or what they think.  With this observance, consider the fact that the compound word metōpon, broken down, can mean behind face.   So it is entirely possible that these seals/marks/names on the forehead are placed there by God, as a designation as to what we believe.  I find it interesting that while believers in God have His mark or name on their foreheads, followers of the beast have their marks either on their forehead or right hand.  Following this line of thinking, we can understand why they’re marked on the forehead, but why the hand?  It’s a work, that’s why.  A person only needs to believe (forehead) in the Lord Jesus for their salvation, without works.  But a person can miss out on this salvation by either not believing in Him (forehead), or can try to work for their own salvation (hand).  Jesus said in Matthew 7:20, “you will know them by their fruits,” and in verse 22 said, “many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?”  He finishes in verse 23 with, “I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”  Why didn’t He know them, when they did seemingly great things for the Lord?  Because they first didn’t believe (forehead) in Him.

2)  The term bond-servant is used throughout the New Testament to describe followers of Christ and God.  More specifically, a bond-servant is defined as, “one who gives himself up to another’s will.”  In Revelation 15:3, Moses is called a bond-servant.   While the 144,000 are called bond-servants, so are the rest of us believers.  And in Revelation 22:3, in the heavenly scene, John says, “His bond-servants will serve Him.”  So this term is hardly exclusive to the 144,000.  (As a side note, it is referenced in the last chapters of Isaiah that both Israelites and Gentiles are servants of God, as they call upon the name of the Lord.)

3)  The twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes brings us to the 144,000 (see Revelation 7:4).  As mentioned above, the number twelve represents God’s perfect completion.  It not only represents the number of tribes of Israel in the heavenly representation, but also the number of apostles, gates, and months of new fruit in the new city.

4)  These folks are chaste, as it says in Revelation 14:4, as in, “not defiled with women.”  Some translations say “virgins.”  The obvious meaning of this is not to have had intercourse.  What’s the problem with intercourse?  Doesn’t God say in Hebrews 13:4 that the “marriage bed is undefiled?”  This would seem to be a contradiction, but it’s not.  The Revelation 14:4 reference harkens back to the Old Testament Law, where it says that a person that has intercourse is unclean until sundown that day (Leviticus 15:18).  Another meaning for virgin is someone who has abstained from all uncleanness.  Paul touches on this in his second letter to the Corinthians where he writes, “For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ,” in 11:2.  

Further descriptors are “blameless”, with “no lie in their mouth…” (Revelation 14:5).  Who is blameless?  In Philemon 2:15, it says, “prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent children of God….”  And Peter says to be found by Him “spotless and blameless” (2 Peter 3:14).  Believers in Jesus are blameless, and God sees us through the lens of Jesus, without spot or wrinkle.  In Him, we are perfect, co-heirs with Christ unto the kingdom of God.  So we can say, like the 144,000, that we are blameless and virgins, since Jesus lived perfectly and fulfilled the Law on our behalf.

5)  The 144,000 follow the Lamb wherever He goes.  We first find them with the Lamb “standing on Mount Zion” (Revelation 14:1).  They apparently follow Him to the throne, because this group of believers “sang a new song before the throne” (Revelation 14:3).  John also hears, “the sound of harpists playing on their harps” in Revelation 14:2. 

In Revelation 7:9, immediately after the 144,000 are sealed to God, John sees a great multitude standing before the throne and before the Lamb, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues.  They cry out in verse 10, “Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Then in Revelation 15:2, we see another group of people in a heavenly scene, “standing on a sea of glass, holding harps of God.”  They are singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb.

There would seem to be lots of groups of people singing before God and the Lamb, at the throne.  Are these groups different from one another, or the same? 

Revelation 14:4 says the 144,000 are, “redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.”  “Being firstfruits” implies that the 144,000 are the first to be gathered from men to God in heaven.  But this isn’t the case.  Look again at Revelation 7:9.  In this earlier scene in Revelation, John sees a great multitude before the throne and before the Lamb.  How then can the 144,000 of chapter 14 be the first to be redeemed to God from men?

With His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, Jesus was the firstfruit from man to God.  After this, righteous man would be the firstfruit to God and the Lamb, as the text indicates in Revelation.  The remaining fruit, as referenced from the Law, is for man, and in this case, is rotten fruit that has prepared itself for the great winepress of God as outlined in Revelation 14:19 and 19:15 (note that the winepress mentioned in Revelation 14:20 is trampled outside the city, bringing to mind that God kept uncleanness outside the city in Leviticus and when Christ bore our sins on the cross, and does so again with the angelic gate attendants in Revelation 21:27).  God will harvest both sets of fruit, good and bad, but the firstfruit is His own to keep forever, while the remainder is properly disposed of in the lake of fire.  Daniel touches on this in 12:2, when he states, “those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.”  Jesus mentions the same thing in Matthew 25:46, “these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Compare this thought to Exodus 34:22, where God says through Moses, “and you shall observe the Feast of Weeks of the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end.”  Here, God calls the wheat harvest the firstfruits, but the Feast of Ingathering, which is the grape harvest, isn’t.  In fact, a grape harvest heading for the winery is termed vintage, and the word vintage comes from the Hebrew root word batsar, which can mean “to cut off.”  So as related to Revelation, the 144,000 are the believing firstfruits or wheat harvest, and the unbelievers are the latter, grape vintage, cut off from the heavenly city and headed for the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

In examining the biblical evidence, it does seem possible that the 144,000 represents something other than 12,000 people from the twelve tribes of Israel, but may represent what would be a larger, God-believing group of people.  The same thought of the meaning of the names of the twelve tribes that I mentioned above, regarding salvation, applies here. 

Bringing It All Together

We’ve made a fair case in establishing that the new city Jerusalem is the bride of Christ, and that His bride consists of believers throughout time.  We’ve also presented biblical evidence that supports the concept that the 144,000 may not be limited to end times Messianic Jews.  Let’s see if we can bring the two together into one thought.

Base of twelve

Remember, the number twelve in the Bible represents God’s perfect completion.  So in Revelation, we see God’s perfect completion in the twelve gates with twelve pearls guarded by twelve angels, twelve foundations, even in twelve stars and the twelve tribes of Israel.  We see 12,000 twice, with the numbering of each of the twelve tribes of Israel, and the measurement of the new city being 12,000 stadia.  If twelve is a number of God’s perfect completion, what is 144? 

As you know, 12 times 12 is 144.  So 144, as a whole, seems to represent an overabundance of Godly perfection in completion.  Twice we see 144; we see 144,000 in the total number from the twelve tribes, and the heaven city’s wall measures 144 cubits.  Do these 144s relate?  Let’s examine the word thousand for meaning, then the word cubit.

Thousand

The word thousand in the Bible is used in a couple of different ways.  First, it is obviously used to indicate a specific number of something… there are many examples of this.  But it is also used to describe a vast, non-specific number of something.  An example of this is in Psalm 50:10, where God says, “for every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.”  That’s all?  God only owns the cattle on a mere 1000 hills?  Obviously this isn’t meant to be taken literal. 

Another example is in Revelation 5:11, where John sees the host of heaven around the throne, “the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.”  That’s a little better… taken literally, that would be, at a minimum, 100,004,000.  So God does have quite a host around the throne.  Again, this is not literal, and when you look at the original language, it becomes more apparent.  The word for ten thousand here is myrias, the word we get myriad from, which means an innumerable multitude.  This is followed by thousands of thousands, and this word in the original simply means the number one thousand, but doesn’t hold that meaning in context.  Daniel says in 7:10 that, “thousand thousands ministered to Him,” and this word plainly means thousand in the original Aramaic, but obviously doesn’t hold that meaning in context.   Think of it this way... when Jesus said to forgive someone 70 times 7 times, He didn’t mean to quit forgiving someone after the 490th time.  He meant to always forgive, without ending, to always turn the other cheek.  In this sense regarding the 144,000, I’m not sure God meant a specific number as much as He meant a large quantity in perfection in His completion. 

We’ve sited some examples of the word thousand, meaning a large multitude, and considering that Revelation is symbolic in many ways, we have reason to believe it isn’t literal in every usage.  I think it is possible that the measurement of the city at 12,000 stadia in Revelation 21:16 has a meaning of innumerable (thousand), established (stadion), completed perfection (twelve), by God.  I think it is possible that the twelve tribes of Israel totaling 144,000 in Revelation chapters 7 and 14 has a meaning of an innumerable (thousand), overabundance of God’s perfect completion (144), through salvation (meaning of the names of the twelve tribes).

It’s very interesting to examine Revelation 21:16-17.  These verses say, “The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth.  And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs (stadia).  Its length, breadth, and height are equal.  Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.”  Why, why, why, did John change his unit of measurement from stadion to cubit on the fly?  There must be a reason.  He would not have done this if these measurements were literal.  So we must look at this from a different point of view.  Let’s examine the word cubit.

Cubit

The word cubit is typically used to describe a unit of length, this usually being the distance from a man’s elbow to his fingertips.  We see literal cubit measurements throughout the Bible.  In Deuteronomy 3:11, Moses writes something peculiar about the size of a bed, “nine cubits its length, and four cubits its breadth, by the cubit of a man.”  Why did Moses write, “by the cubit of a man?”  This delineation must have meaning, and that meaning is corroborated in Revelation 21:17, where John writes, “according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.”  It would seem that man used cubits as a specific length of measure, but angels use it to measure something else, but what?

Remember, the angel that showed John the heavenly city measured the wall at 144 cubits, and we determined that the wall is believers.  So the angel measured believers (the wall), at an overabundant number in God’s completed perfection (144).  But is there more to the meaning of cubit?

The word cubit comes from the Hebrew word ‘ammah, meaning beginning, head or foundation of a thing.  It is the “mother of the arm,” says Gesenius’s Lexicon, or the forearm.  Did you know that our elbow is called a cubitus joint?  Cubit translated into German is ell, and that is where we get the term elbow.  Cubit translated into Latin is the word ulna, which is the name of the longest and largest bone in our forearm. 

The word ‘ammah comes from the root word ‘em, which means mother.  In Genesis 3:20, it says, “and Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother (‘em) of all living.”  Why is this important?  Keep following along…

In Genesis 2:21-22, many translations say that God took a rib from Adam’s side to make Eve (my paraphrase).  In reality, in the original Hebrew, it actually says God “took part of the man’s side.”  The word side was mistranslated as rib, dating back to the Septuagint, the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek a few centuries BC, and this translation was adopted by nearly all of the current popular Bible translations.  This word in the original Hebrew is tsela’.  Tsela’ essentially means side… as in the side of a hill, side of an ark or altar, or side of a room.  Think of it as a wing, as in, West Wing of the White House.  It can be defined as branch extending from the central part of a body.  In like thought, Jesus said in John 15:5, “I am the vine and you are the branches”… consider this relevant to the description of God/Jesus as the center of the heavenly city, and believers as the tsela’.  So basically we are talking about something like an extension from the central part of something.  Adam's tsela’, used in this context, could refer to a limb.

Referring back to our forearm… when a person is in the anatomical position (arms downs and palms forward), his ulna bone (cubit) is close to his body, right by his side, his tsela’…

Could it be possible that God took part of Adam’s forearm (cubit) to make Eve, the mother (‘em, base word to ‘ammah, word  for cubit) of all living?  I think it is very possible.  Remember, forearm as described above holds the meaning of “mother of the arm,” perhaps gained from and reference to Eve coming from Adam’s forearm, and being that all who are eternally alive are measured (or counted) in cubits in the heavenly city.  In Galatians 4:26, Paul says that the Jerusalem above (the heavenly Jerusalem) is, "the mother of us all."  This alone doesn't provide much information or understanding, but when it is considered in conjunction with meaning provided here, it makes perfect sense.

Who among us hasn’t raised his or her arm to be counted in school?  We all have.  Many believers today raise their arms to God in adoration and praise, crying out to Him… in essence, giving themselves to Him, surrendering to Him, wanting to be counted as worthy to be in His presence.  The Bible notes “God’s holy arm” in Psalm 98:1, and Isaiah writes that God’s “own arm brought salvation” in 59:16.  Non-believers do not raise their arms before the Lord, unless they want their arm broken.  It’s true!  When speaking to Job about the wicked, God says, “the upraised arm is broken” (38:15).  Later in Jeremiah, speaking of Godless Moab, the LORD says in 48:25 “his arm is broken”.  And finally in Ezekiel 30:21, God tells Ezekiel He has “broken the arm of Pharaoh.”  It seems possible that, in spiritual context, believers are counted eternally worthy to God by their arms, their cubits, and the unbelievers are condemned in their broken arms.

In answering the question, “does the 144,000 relate to the 144 cubits,” I think the answer is yes, based upon the evidence provided in this article.  When you follow the line of thinking presented here, that the identity, or likeness, between the two seem to end at the same point, that they are one group of believers throughout time, gathered around the Lord at the end of Revelation as one, this must be considered as a viable option in interpreting this part of Revelation.

While I am not at all into numerology as related to interpreting the Bible, it is apparent that certain numbers hold certain meaning to God, and this is presented to us in His Word over and over again.  I sited a few examples of this; here is another.  In Revelation 14:20, the unbelieving are cast into the winepress of the wrath of God, and they are trampled, and out comes blood to the height of a horse’s bridle, for 1600 furlongs (stadia).  Why 1600?  Remember, 40 squared is 1600, and 40 represents trial or testing in the Bible, so as a multiple of itself, 1600 represents an overabundance of testing.  Basically, these folks fail a well-founded and profuse test.  (Why is the height noted as being that of a horse’s bridle?  This is the height of a man.)

The thoughts represented in this article are not isolated.  While they may not have been integrated into one another before now, there are well known Bible scholars that have thoughts and ideas that feed into this line of reasoning.  Matthew Henry says in his Commentary on the Holy Bible, of the 144,000, “it may be understood of the remnant of people which God had reserved, according to the election of grace, only a definite number is given for an indefinite.”  As a subnote in the same commentary, John Guyse considers the 144,000 to be both Jews and Gentiles.  F.F. Bruce says in his Bible Commentary of the 144,000, “the followers of Christ are here viewed as the true Israel of God,” and later says, “the Israel of God knows no national frontiers.”  Bruce also notes that the 144,000 of chapter 14 are “linked” to the white robed multitude of chapter 7, based on the similarities of the two.

Chuck Missler, in his compilation Learn The Bible in 24 Hours, believes that the 24 elders in Revelation are an idiom for the "redeemed."  This makes sense as you examine the text.  Look at Revelation 5:9, of the 24 elders, it says, "...(You, the Lamb) have redeemed us to God by your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation...."  Obviously the 12 apostles and 12 patriarchs (who are together commonly thought to be the 24 elders) were not from every tongue, people or nation.  This is followed by verse 10, "...(You) have made us kings and priests to our God."  The elders are kings and priests, but so are believers as written in Revelation 1:6, "...(He) has made us kings and priests to His God...."  Furthermore, Chuck uses Levitical priesthood assignments set by David in 1 Chronicles 24 to affirm his point.

Now let me combine Chuck's thought with mine.  Again, in Revelation 5:9, the elders call themselves the redeemed from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.  But in Revelation 7, after the 144,000 are sealed, John sees them around the throne and describes them as a great multitude from “all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues” (verse 9).  Similarly, in Revelation 14, the 144,000 were "redeemed from the earth" in verse 3, and were “redeemed from among men” in verse 4.  The elders and 144,000 are alike in many ways.  They both even sing a new song before the throne, the elders in Revelation 5:8 and the 144,000 in Revelation 14:3.  Chuck's thought on the elders are in line with the concepts of this study, and point to yet another rendering of John's vision where different descriptions (idioms) are made of the same subject.

Regarding the term "Israel of God," it is taken directly from Scripture, with specific meaning relevant to this article.  It comes out of Galatians 6, as Paul is closing his letter to the believers in Galatia.  Begin reading at chapter four as Paul speaks of the difference between the Jerusalem of his day and the heavenly Jerusalem, and continue with that thought through chapter six and the Israel of God.  It becomes clear here that God is conveying the thought that the true, heavenly Israel consists of believers, and F.F. Bruce taps into this in his commentary as he uses this phrase.

Even the apostle Paul writes in Romans 9:6, “for they are not all Israel who are of Israel.”  Earlier in Romans, at the end of chapter two, Paul explains that, "for he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh, but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter."  (More than once, Moses mentions circumcision of the heart to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy.)    Again in Galatians, Paul in chapter three says that “those who are of faith are sons of Abraham,” and continues in saying that the gospel was preached to Abraham 430 years before the law.  If the gospel was preached to Abraham as a precursor to the law, doesn’t this same precedent apply to Jacob/Israel and the twelve tribes?  Remember, the promise was first made to Abraham, not Jacob or his sons.  So in that we are sons of Abraham, all believers throughout time qualify to be of the 144,000.  As I referenced before, “all nations shall be blessed through Abraham.”

If this article holds validity, how does that affect other, preconceived or traditional ideas about John’s Revelation?  How does this affect the Millennium view?  What about the Mark of the Beast?  Does this take away from the special relationship God has with Israel, or add to it?  Obviously, more studying has to be done to substantiate this article, and to see what collateral damage has been done to traditional thought.  Further study into the original language is in order to do this, along with in-depth examination of additional Bible commentaries.

Do not take my word or work at face value… or anyone else’s for that matter.  While I’ve spent considerable time and energy comparing the new city Jerusalem and the 144,000 and have come to the conclusion that they are one in the same, you may not.  But we must all pursue truth, with God’s Word as our basis, then seek understanding through the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Too many of us have blindly accepted interpretation and understanding from others without doing our own homework.  If we do the research through prayer and fasting and come to the same conclusion, that is fine.  But I would think God would reveal to us greater understanding of Him and His Word if we take the time to consult with Him as we study the Holy Scriptures.

Neutral Philosophies

There are many contrary philosophies worldwide; but, the most blatant is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
In this incident there are positive and negative elements. He stated he was on the Earth to save evil people; and, not the good people. This has many effectuations:
[1] If a killer is saved, the family member of the one killed will be extremely unhappy.
[2] The public would retaliate at the operative
And many other contradictions
People did not accept criminals; especially high criminals; nor, did they accept anyone who attempted to save them.
As a classic example:
Jesus was known to Romans as a "Saviour of Evil people". When i Rome, the people gathered together and crucified him for his "Criminal Acts".
As an effect, If I was to stand out on the street and yell out "I came to this city to save rapists and child molesters", the public would :
[1] Come out of their houses and shoot me
[2] Call the Police and have me locked up as a high criminal
[3] Place me in a psychiatric hospital
The Romans thought the same about Jesus. Though he may have been good to attempt to change them into good people, he caused controversy. They only knew he had to be killed; so, they hung him up on a cross with a thief on one side of him; and a murderer on the other side. The said f he could save himself, he should try to save the criminals also. They threw rocks a him and broke his ribs; as well as sent him to a slow death. Of course, Jehovah could not do anything without his reputation of being a corrupt God to be noticed by everyone.
In many cases, philosophies may be controversial; or, paradoxical. That it why it takes many years to develope a non controversial philosophical structuration of mind.

Religious Deterioration

"Gods" are people who guide others when they cannot control themselves; but sometimes, people pretend to be Gods that are not Gods. On example is "Jehovah" of the Jewish Bible. He was a very lustfull man who raped many females. Eventually, he was sent to a remote place to separate him from others by 3 men. After being there for a while, he sent his spirit below the ground. That was the beginning of the Bible of the Jews. He collided with other worlds; and quickly deteriorated into a psychotic criminal. He lied, cheated, corrupted everything and everyone in his path; and stole everyone's spirits, minds and powers. This is where the "Patry" ex KGB defect learned of; and utilized similar programs against humanity.
in the beginning, Jehovah proved he could not follow his own philosophical words. He lied to Adam and Eve; after stripping the minds of innocent people; and placing them into the "Tree of life". That prevented the from retaliating against him from taking over every person he could find that was powerfull. After Satan told Adam and Eve to eat of the tree of the "Fruit of Life", they did. This is what happened:
[1] Jehovah asked them "Wherefore art thou?" which means "Where are you?". They stated they hid themselves from him because they were ashamed of not having clothes.He asked them who  told them they had no clothes. They stated they ate of the tree of life. Previously, he told them they would die if they ate the fruit; but Satan told them the truth. He stated their eyes would be opened to know the difference between good and evil.He asked who old them to eat the fruit. They stated "Satan". Jehovah blatantly contradicted himself in these conversations. He claimed to be all knowing. If he was all knowing, he would have known the answers to the questions; and, utilized indirect deception to make them think he was not all knowing.. If not, he lied about being all knowing.
Secondly, he contradicted his adage "Bear not false witness against others". In fact he stated to Eve that all females will have pain during childbirth for her "Corruption"; which was believing Satan's truth that they would not die. The future females were accused of things that they were not even present to view. He told Adam, the ground as cursed for his sake, The ground never did anything. He told Satan he would punish him by making him crawl on his belly for the rest of his life. That was a lie. Satan was standing when he old Moses to jump off of the cliff later. These were all false accusations.
Even learning knowledge does not indicate a person is good. Sometimes a person may utilize knowledge of good things to use as a weapon against good people.
Religious deterioration began with hypocrites such as Jehovah.

Deteriorated Philosophies

This is a classical example of a deteiorated song lyric structuration:
"I Like You" by Donovan

You're such a good friend
I'd hate to have you as an enemy
From the first time we met
I knew you were the one to set me free

You liked me
I liked you
You liked me
I liked you

Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out west for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Burning your body to fill in the time
Sad city sister on Avenue of Palm
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Just like a man who walks, yet is dead
I asked you to dance
And you wondered and you thought you might
So we went and took a chance
On the cat walk in the cold star light

I held you
You felt me
I touched you
You kissed me

This is an extremely offensive song shadowed by a very pleasant melody. As I was growing up, I appreciated many songs such as this; but, I hated the lyrics I liked the melody of the voice however.

This song is offensive in many ways:

[1] "I'd hate to have you as an enemy": Why would he mention such a negative thing unless he was expecting a negative relationship to develope due to his attitude and character?

[2] "I Knew you were the one to set me free": He is relying on her to burden herself to "Set him free". That is extremely disrespectfull.

And numerous others. In fact, this entire song s based on extreme negativity of Dreams, burning her body by drugs, "Sad city sister" condition [He used her for his own entertainment while she is weakened by sadness], his confessed "naivity", walking as if "Dead" [That is extreme negativity], taking a chance dancing [and lost to emotional destabilization. They kissed]; and, falling in "Love" after all of that continual barrage of negativity. That is self destructive.

Incorrect Ettiquette and Historical Philosophical Deterioration

Normally, most people ignore undesirable reactions from others; but, there is something that may be detrimental to doing that.
For example:
* In this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac24COCKTVM
There is one major offense that is clearly objectionable. She sates "I honestly Love you."  in her song. That is sufficient for any reasonably decent person to walk away permanently. If any female told me that, I would walk away; and, hate that person for life. I wold never  associate with that person the rest of my life; if possible. She is sating "I honestly love you" as if to indicate:
[1] She is normally dishonest; but this time she s indicating her honesty
[2] She is implying  am thinking she is lying about her statement; and, requires telling me she is honest so I will not accuse her of dishonesty.  hate being called a liar.
Philosophies and laws regulate the communications between 2 people to allow both to live equally as happily as any other. Her statement cases extreme hate and repulsion.
In most songs worldwide, there is extreme negativity and repulsiveness. The songs sing about hate, war, drunkenness; or sexuality of an abnormal level. There is no philosophical regulation of behaviour or expressions of words.
A perfect society will never remain near any of those situations; but will instead, move far away from them.
Common examples of  Hate that is regarded as "Love" or "Infatuation" are:
[1] "My Best Friends Girl": I this son, his best friend is now going out with his ex girlfriend:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkSmLh2Hbi0
That is extremely rude and disrespectfull.
[2] "Jessie's Girl": In this song, the singer desires his best friend's girlfriend to be his own girlfriend:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkbTyHXwbs&list=RDqYkbTyHXwbs
That is excessively hatefull and rude.
[3] " When you're in love with a Beautifull Woman": In this song, every male is to closely watch their lover; otherwise someone may take her away from them:

That s hatefull and disrespecfull. I fact, no friend would do that.
Most songs from the early days to present day were created from very criminal people.
The reason for this is:
[1] All but, 3 people in the early 1900's Jazz players were heroine addicts.
[2] Groups such as Donovan and the Beattles were drug addicts. The Beattles went to a mountain to receive teachings from a "Philosopher". Instead, they were aught the "miracles" of LSD. The "philosopher was a LSD addict. After the "teachings", they came back to society and wrote the song "Yellow Submarine" about a company that builds yellow 2 and more an capacity submarines. Very soon after that, Donovan went to the same person. He came back with "miraculous" philosophies also created from an LSD  disoriented mind. The Beattles were caught many times worldwide carrying drugs on jet airliners with them . They were almost banned worldwide from every country.
[3] Musicians such as Elvis Presley were extreme drug addicts. Elvis had a personal physician that prescribed drugs of numerous types for his "requirements". When private investigators found that out, they met Elvis with newscasters, and questioned the incident. The physician was told not to prescribe any more drugs to Elvis. He agreed; but, Elvis said "If you quit prescribing my drugs, I will buy my own pharmacy.". The doctor continued with the prescriptions.
Many others were sending mutanted messages worldwide in their songs. Many were alcoholic, drug addicts; or, both. They; obviously, could not teach children or other people the correct way of life.
All of these; in addition to corrupt societies, caused a disintegration of philosophical influence on the public. The environments terminated the true philosophical elements of humankind; until there was no memory of philosophy. The societies continued to deteriorate. Philosophy is a mystery to lost of humanity.It is for that reason I decided to write about the lost etiquette of humanity.
